umulation.""But you are only considered a pseudo-great accomplishment realm now, and you need to consolidate your cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise, all your efforts will be in vain!""""Alrig...[ ]

"You are not worthy to know his identity!" the judge responded in a deep voice.

"If you don't want to die here today, I suggest you best accept the chance he's given!"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind giving you a ride myself!"

Thump!

Upon hearing his words, the three of them knelt down simultaneously and kowtowed to Ling Hao with all their might.

"Please, sir, please spare my nephew this time..." Zhao Yuhui spoke first.

"I'm willing to pay up, consider it compensation for Miss Zheng. Just tell me the amount, and I'll have someone transfer it immediately..."

The other two patriarchs also nodded in agreement, one after another. They all said that as long as their sons could be saved, they were willing to pay any amount of money.

"Are you rich" Ling Hao took a sip of red wine: "Then how much are you planning to compensate Ten trillion or one hundred trillion"

"I..." Zhao Yuehui struggled to speak, at a loss for words.

Although the Zhao family is ranked as the number one family in Dongzhou, the cash they can come up with in a short period of time will definitely not exceed 100 million.

Even if all of Zhao's companies were sold, it would probably only amount to seven or eight hundred billion.

"Give each of them a knife. If they don't cut the rope within three minutes, let them jump themselves!" Ling Hao took a drag from his cigarette and spoke nonchalantly.

Bang!

Three moon-curved cold swords were thrown before the three, emitting an aura of chilling coldness.

“I… I’ll make a phone call…” Zhao Yuehui said with difficulty, then tremblingly and fearfully pulled out his cell phone from his body.

Zhao Yuehui is going to make a final attempt.

As the second-in-command of the Zhao family, he knew several influential figures in Dongzhou and hoped to use his connections to save his nephew's life.

One minute later, the first phone call connected.

But before he could finish his sentence, the other party heard that it was the Shadow Gate doing it and hung up directly.

Tick-tock!

A bead of sweat, the size of a yellow bean, rolled down his forehead.

After taking a deep breath, dial the second number again.

Needless to say, halfway through the sentence, the call was hung up again.

The third, the fourth, the waves still...

Bang!

The phone fell to the ground, his face as pale as wax!

"Last minute!" the judge's voice boomed.

Whew!

Zhao Yuehui let out a heavy sigh, tremblingly picked up one of the curved blades and staggered towards Zhao Jiahua.

The other two heads of household, having no choice, bent down to pick up their swords and stumbled along.

"Second Uncle... you... what are you going to do... I... I'm your nephew!" Zhao Jiahua cried out.

"Huai'er...don't blame your second uncle, you did something wrong, and you have to take responsibility. For the sake of the entire Zhao family, I had no choice..."

After Zhao Yuehui finished speaking, he took a deep breath and drew his sword!

For him, there was indeed no choice!

"Don't..." Zhao Jiahua screamed hysterically.

The next moment, the body vanished in the darkness like a falling leaf.

The other two young masters met the same fate as Zhao Jiahua. They were both cut loose from their ropes by their own fathers and then plunged into the churning lake.

Bang!

Then, Zhao Yuezhi and the other two collapsed onto the ground.

As if aging several decades in an instant, tears streamed down my face, consumed by grief.

One hour later, Zhao family courtyard in the west of Dongzhou City.

"What!"

After hearing what his second brother had to say, Zhao Jia's head, Zhao Yuehua, roared angrily, and at the same time, a terrifyingly cold killing intent emanated from him.

That's his own son, feeding the fish like that!

To actually dare to treat the Zhao family like this, are they trying to overturn the heavens!

Boom!

Zhao Yuehua, filled with rage, slammed his palm onto the table in front of him. The table shattered instantly. Glass was scattered everywhere.

"I'm sorry, brother. I'm incompetent and couldn't save Xiao Hua..." Zhao Yuehui sat on the sofa, tears streaming down his face.

Whew!

Zhao Yuehua let out a heavy sigh, lit a cigar and took a deep puff before looking at Zhao Yuhui and saying.

"It's not your fault, if I were there I would have made the same choice."

After blowing out a ring of smoke, he continued, “Are you sure that kid is seeking revenge for Zheng’s little bitch”

"Yes!" Zhao Yuehui nodded in response. "He said it himself!"

"Investigate!" Zhao Yuehua looked at Zhao Family's steward standing at the door and spoke in a low voice.

"Get this checked immediately! Was there any leftover Zheng family bloodline after all those years Report back as soon as you have news!"

"Received!" The butler nodded vigorously and then turned away.

"Brother, that kid over there has an unusual relationship with the Shadow Gate!" Zhao Yuehui lit a cigar and took a puff.

"If he's really a descendant of Zheng, we have to be careful!"

"Humph!" Zhao Yuehua snorted coldly.

"So what if he's on good terms with the Shadow Gate If he's really a descendant of Zheng, even if he's the master of the Shadow Gate, I'll make him die again!"

After finishing his words, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he spoke.

"Call Xiao Jie right now and tell him his brother is in trouble. Tell him he needs to come back for the next two days, no matter what!"

"What's big brother planning" Zhao Yuehui was slightly taken aback.

"No matter who the other party is, if they dare to kill my son, I will definitely dismember him a thousand times!" Zhao Yuehua gritted his teeth.

"Okay!" Zhao Yuehui nodded solemnly.

He didn't expect his elder brother to actually call Xiao Jie back.

Xiaojie is his elder brother's eldest son, and also the pride of their entire Zhao family!

Not only is he incredibly skilled, but at a young age, he was already selected as a candidate for the position of Master of the Imperial Court. He is highly regarded by his superiors and has a bright future ahead of him.

You need to know, Yu Tang, that's an institution on par with Ying Men as one of the two most important forces in the country. It gathers elites and has immense power.

Within the Shadow Gate, order prevails, and the wicked are punished!

Protect the Lord's court, repel foreign enemies, and enhance the glory of our nation!

Every young person who can successfully pass the assessment and become a formal member is a prodigy!

Also, notify your third brother and ask him to invite the Pang brothers to Tung Chou. Tell them that the Zhao family is inviting them, with a reward of one hundred million! Zhao Yuehua continued his instructions.

"

Got it!

"

When Zhao Yuehui heard the four words "Ponz Brothers", a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Yuehua took another puff of his cigar, his eyes bloodshot, staring straight ahead, speaking word by word.

"Dare to kill my son, and I will make you suffer a fate worse than death!"

……

Ding dong!

As midday approached on the third day, Ling Hao and Lu Yue, who were staying at the hotel, were having lunch on the first floor when their phones rang.

It's a call from Qin Yuxin.

"Yuxin, have you arrived in Dongzhou" Ling Hao said when he answered the phone.

"Daddy, it's me, Ruirui. Where are you I miss you so much. Can you come see me" A childish voice came through the receiver.

"Rui Rui" Ling Hao's expression brightened, and he spoke softly.

"Ruri, ask Mommy where you are now. Dad will be there soon."

"Really Can you really come see Ruirui right now That's great, then Dad, hurry over here." Ruirui said excitedly.

"I gave my phone to Mom so she can tell you where we are."

"Sounds good!" Ling Hao replied with a smile.

"Ruirui kept calling for you after she woke up that day. I could tell she really missed you!" Qin Yuxin's voice came through the phone.

“We originally planned to come back to Dongzhou in the late afternoon, but Riri kept insisting on seeing you, so we came back earlier.”

"We are at our home in Dongzhou right now. I'll send you the address later. If you have time, come play with Ruirui!"

"I'm free now, I'll be there right away!" Ling Hao's nose felt a little sour.

"Great!" Qin Yuxin responded before hanging up the phone.

In a moment, the address was sent to Ling Hao's phone.

"Are the toys ready" Ling Hao and the other person walked towards the hotel entrance.

"Mm!" Lu Yue nodded. "I had the judge buy it, it's already in the parking lot."

"Good!" Ling Hao nodded and quickened his pace.

"Greetings, Commander!" As he approached the parking lot, a man in brocade robes jumped out of the driver's seat of a van.

"Where are the toys" Ling Hao was slightly taken aback.

"Here we are!" the man hurried to the carriage and pulled open the door.

The judge said he didn't know what kind of toys RuiRui liked, so he bought a little bit of everything.

Ling Hao and Lu Yue walked over and took a look, the corners of their mouths twitching at the same time.

Okay!

The whole carriage is full of toys!

"You should have him move the whole shopping mall here!" Ling Hao looked at Lu Yue with an exasperated expression.

"What a brute!" Lu Yue also had black lines all over his head.ngdom, they were confident that they could crush it with ease.Over a year ago, if it hadn't been for the sovereign of the other country personally intervening and pleading with the Western Army to sho...
